She has experience teaching ballet and pointe, Irish dance, and contemporary dance to boys and girls, young learners, and more advanced learners. Maegan has also been provided the opportunity to choreograph for the Dance Conservatory of Pittsburgh this year, premiering her first choreographic work, “Equinox.” Maegan is thrilled to be working with Art in Motion and is excited to meet her new students!
